"Able to defend their home from a mob.
"The lib says a person should let the mob overrun the home and do whatever they want to the occupants and property.
"Which one are you again?"
I was taught: Do not pull your gun unless you're going to shoot. If you're going to shoot, you must shoot to kill. I don't think that couple understood what they were doing in full.
Handling a weapon invites inadvertent discharge, especially if one is agitated- which they obviously were.
That also increases the risk of armed response. Standing in the open with a weapon when some arsehole loses his mind and opens fire (supposedly this was a mob, right?), things go south pretty quick and people die, as the phrase from The Searchers eloquently puts it:
"Jake: And now you understand. Anything goes wrong, anything at all... your fault, my fault, nobody's fault... it won't matter - I'm gonna blow your head off. No matter what else happens, no matter who gets killed I'm gonna blow your head off."
